Believe it or not, people are calling 911 when the run out of toilet paper! It is almost too crazy to be true. However, everything is so insane right now that things are getting stranger by the day. This had been a particular issue in Oregon. Apparently, 911 calls due to running out of toilet paper have become so common that the Oregon police had to issue statements about it. They must continually remind residents that lack of toilet paper does not constitute an emergency…especially when we are in the middle of a pandemic!
Although this story is so strange it is almost comical, it is also quite inconsiderate to the first-responders and essential workers who are risking their lives by going into work and answering those 911 calls. I understand that quarantine is boring, but this should be a time of thankfulness for what you have. The fact that police have to remind residents to not call 911 from running out of toilet paper is rude and ridiculous.
